The Arizona Cardinals could use CB Antonio Cromartie, who is expected to line up opposite CB Patrick Peterson, to cover opposing tight ends next year. Opposing tight ends accounted for 17 of the 29 touchdowns that Cardinals' opponents scored in 2013. Cromartie, however, lined up in the slot in 16 of 127 career games. CB Jerraud Powers could fill in at nickel and slot until CB Tyrann Mathieu (knee) returns.

The Arizona Cardinals might consider cutting CB Jerraud Powers, who was considered just OK last season. He might be replaced through free agency or from a long-term standpoint via the 2014 NFL Draft. The team might cut Powers, who has two years left on a three-year, $10.5 million deal.
